Which statement best describes the Artifact ID?

• A. It is optional metadata for the database.
• B. It uniquely identifies all database objects in Relativity.
• C. It stores the serial number of the server license.
• D. It indicates the current project name.

Answer: (B)

Artifact ID is the unique identifier assigned to every database object in Relativity. This means each object—such as a document, folder, or other item—has a distinct ID that stays the same even if the name or other metadata changes. This constant, unique reference is what Relativity relies on to reliably track, link, and audit objects across the system, avoiding confusion from duplicates or renaming. It’s not optional metadata, it doesn’t store server license serial numbers, and it doesn’t indicate the current project name.
